I do much better when I can see a play rather than read it, and Murder in the Cathedral is one I definitely needed to see. In fact, Murder in the Cathedral was one of the harder plays for me to read, and I think it would have helped if I had at least listened to it on tape because then I could hear the different voices.

As is it, Murder in the Cathedral was hard to visualize, and I spent most of my time being lost in the language rather than the plot. I finished it and immediately asked, “okay…what happened?”

I guess it’s just another play I need to see rather than read. ( )

This was a very interesting drama. I liked the first part before forecoming conclusion. Something in last event takes the 5th star away, too abrubt ending, especially after archbishop's ceremony. A beautiful work of English drama. ( )

The year is 1170 and after a 7 year absence Thomas Becket returns to England for what is to be...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... ( )

Eliot, T.S.. Murder in the Cathedral. Harcourt Brace, New York, 1964.

Very satisfying. Easy to hear the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber as you read this. Some very profound thoughts about life and purpose in this. I liked it a lot. ( )
